George Santos was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from New York in 2022. Reports then showed that he had never graduated from Baruch College, and his claims to have worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup did not hold up. He told City & State New York that he had embellished his résumé and was sorry.
On December 1, 2023, the House expelled him by a vote of 311 to 114. He was only the sixth member in its history to be expelled.
